Chapter 5 - The First Battle

"AAAAAHHHH! HELP US! PLEASE SAVE US!" The 46-year old crippled woman is in panic and held her arms out as she fights for her life when the members of the Kaplawa Beast Clan dominate their downtown on Thursday midnight. 

When all are resting, heavy rains and lightning dawned by the Werewolves deafening howls and half-bodied beasts' evil laughs. The ferocious storm suddenly surrounds a certain area and selected streets where the Kaplawa Clan chooses to attack.

"OWOOOOOOO!!!!" Larry (leader of the black and brown werewolves) the stiff-legged six-foot black-furred frantic wolf with his long snout tightly pulled forward arrived downtown growling with his pack.

"OWOOOOOOO!!!!" "ARF ARF ARF!!!" Black werewolves wild barking woke up the town and female beasts' cackling evil laughs, "HIHIHIHIHIHI!!!!" sends a signal to the people that these cruel evil creatures are ready to kill and eat them.

Human-like dog members of the beast clan transform into huge brown wolves displaying their murderous lengthy sharp teeth. Their enormously carved claws slowly come off from their paws ready to gash humans' flesh.

Victoria the half-bodied voluptuous and sophisticated female beast came with Larry by his side together with the other male beasts. She opens her mouth wide displaying her steel-strong fangs, extends her 6-feet black tongue, and spreads her gigantic black wings to frighten the townspeople. Her round red eyes are roaming side to side looking for a victim.

The half-naked blood-thirsty hulking brown beast with pointed teeth, gory filthy claws, and spikes at their back grabbed the woman's neck and forcibly bite it sucking her blood. They are dragging and biting people's bodies who are running and shrieking for help.

Children and elders are screaming to death when each beast detaches their upper torso from their lower body and transforms into half-bodied furry female beasts with red eyes, brown gigantic wings, and, long black nails. They are revealing their 24-inch flaming red tounges and expels slimy poisonous green saliva to their targets.

Half-bodied females beasts and black werewolves are all over the place bringing chaos to the downtown, causing the people to tremble in fear and their rapid breaths would almost leave their restless lungs.

Some would just faint to death leaving them lifeless in cold streets, others are throwing stones and sharp objects at the members of the beast clan hoping that they could beat them. Their guns are on fire as they and aim for the strong-legged wolves and bullets pierced on female beast brown gigantic wings. But none of them were able to beat even a single member of the Kaplawa Beast Clan.

Half-bodied beasts fly from one place to another ripping off youngsters' chest taking their fresh beating hearts out of their bodies, eating it in front of their families. Blood pours down through the beast's velvet black fingers and 10-inch nails while their big red eyes are beaming sharply while glancing at the people running and screaming in fright.

Werewolves slashing the elders' stomachs with their big and sharp black claws, smashing the elders' intestines pulling their large livers from their bodies. Peoples' blood is all over the streets and thunder collides with lightning, continuously striking the corners of the streets.

A pregnant woman is crying endlessly with a quivering voice, pleading for her child's life, "Ppppp...please spare us our liiii....iiiife. Take our belongings buuuuu......uuuut please do no take our life, we.... beg you..." But the ruthless female beast grips the woman's neck and lifts her into the air, slashing her stomach with no mercy. She throws the woman's dead body in the filthy street near the garbage truck.

It seems like the horrible and spine-chilling screams and tremors of the people are endless. Blood and lifeless bodies, corpses drenched in flooded canals without internal organs were all over the downtown.

A 78-year old man holding his wounded arm, severely mauled by one of the werewolves is running to reach Martin's place. He found a way to escape by lying on the street pretending to be lifeless and when the beast clan members left the area he quickly pulls his body from the ground and patches his left wounded arm with his right shuddering hand and begins to rush to Martin's house. 

At nearly 3:00 a.m. he finally reached the big Mabolo tree. Bulingaw's eye expands when he saw the man speaks heavily while gasping for air, "The...(Huff!...huff!) Beast Clan (pointing his right hand ) is attacking the people of downtown. Pl....ease... (Huff!...huff!) save our people."

Worried Bulingaw reaches for his shoulder with a low tone voice, "Come inside, let us heal your wound first, we will talk to Martin about this."

The old man enters the invisible door of the Mabolo tree, they swiftly and smoothly pass by it. He has always been visiting Martin inside the tree whenever he wants to talk to him concerning the town's people.

Martin in human form is having a coffee talk with the leaders of his tribe. He sits comfortably on a huge ancient brown narra chair while taking a few puffs from his tobacco. He crossed his legs and spreads his arm and leans back to his chair. As soon as the old man enters the tree he stopped sipping his coffee and his huge palm stops Nano from talking. 

Enya spotted the old man curved in fear, "What happened to downtown?" Her fussy eyes arrays.

Bulingaw hastily replies, "The downtown has been dominated by the Kaplawa Beast Clan. They are murdering the people with intentions to get our tribe's attention. This I supposed is the beginning of the war."

Nano, sitting at the left side of Martin, with weary eyes and bothered core swerved his head to Martin, "They planned this all along, Lord, hundred years have passed and yet they still have the desire to be in the position and conquer the land. The agreement between the two clans has been in vain because of their selfish desires."

Wounded old man barely explained holding his left arm, " The werewolves are slashing the children's necks and the half-bodied beasts are getting the people's internal organs. The city is in chaos! They are in intense fear. Their families were killed by the werewolves."

Martin rose from his seat and punch his paws on the table, clutching his eyes, and gruffs, "Arf! Arf! Kaplawa Beast Clan... They are doing a shameful thing!"

"You must help our people, Lord Martin, please!" The old man pleads with grief.

Martin transformed into a huge white angry werewolf,  his fierce eyes points to Nano, "Tell your horses to kill every beast that hurdles your way! Enya and Sabina, bring the people into a safer place. Bulingaw, bring all your flying poisonous creatures and crowd every werewolf, weaken their visions. We will save every people in downtown. We must do our duty to protect them."

Enya, the ashen skin with golden straight hair enchanted goddess turned her soft brown eyes into auburn, and whips her copper metal wand in the air, with her superpowers, the tribe members instantly transported to downtown."

Victoria smelled the presence of the Tikaluna tribe and her eyes pinch into the cold breeze sighting Martin's beaming fangs and claws biting and tearing every half-bodied female beast and throwing them dead in the air.

Bulingaw's tiny creatures circled into werewolves' broad black and brown-furred bodies penetrating their eyes, ears, and snouts causing them to decrease their motions, and making them blind and helpless. These tiny deadly creatures eject venom from their stings to their victims making them weak and turning them instantly into ashes.

Sabina's mermaids and Enya's fairies turned into powerful women that can tug four people with their both arms and placing them in a protected secluded place. Children, women, and the elderly are transferred together with their families.

Nano's strong-legged horses are pushing the beasts harshly and stepping onto their weakened bodies crushing them to death. The rest of the white and gray werewolves are behind Martin's back while attacking the werewolves of the Kaplawa clan. They bite every black werewolf giving them a strong jerk on their legs causing them to be paralyzed.

White werewolves brutally stab the brown werewolves' necks with their mercury-filled claws which turns their blood into red, making them mortal and human-like forms, leaving them worthless and unable to fight.

"OWWWOOOOOO!!!" Martin signaled his tribe that they are almost smelling the victory in the battle.

"OWOOOOO!!! ARF! ARF!" His pack respectively responded recognizing their Lord.

Martin stood proudly in the middle of the storm, with his indigo gun-metal eyes he looks angrily at Victoria, "You break the law by killing the innocent people of this town. Go back to your worthless clan and take your dead beasts with you!"

Frustrated Victoria answered with a heavy breath and pungent smile, "We will soon conquer your land Martin, we must take back what is rightfully ours! King Angus will not let you rule this world! Time belongs to us, your tribe belongs to our hands! Hahahahahahaha!"

Victoria flew quickly echoing her evil laugh with the rest of her clan, declaring a defeat from their first battle with Tikaluna Tribe after hundreds of years of silence.

Martin along with his pack and creatures from his tribe transformed into human beings have witnessed the first sunrise of the month, bringing hope and peace to the townspeople.
